Pew Research has found that 85 percent of the content served to them by the Chinese Communist Party’s TikTok app and its “For You” recommendations are “at least somewhat interesting,” with just 14 percent responding that the content is “not too or not at all interesting.”
The disturbing revelation means a vast majority of the app’s 900 million users are entrusting their digital and cultural guidance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its algorithms.
Younger users are especially interested in the content, Pew explains, adding: “Some 47% of users ages 18 to 34 say they find the videos on their “For You” page either extremely or very interesting, compared with 36% of users ages 35 to 49 and 31% of those 50 or older.”
“There are only modest differences on this question based on other demographic factors like gender, political affiliation, or educational attainment. Similar shares of posters and non-posters find the “For You” page at least very interesting.”
The National Pulse has been reporting for years on the malign influence of TikTok and its CCP-linked parent company, ByteDance.
